    Hen killing hatching chicks

    My hen’s chicks were due yesterday, and two of my favorite hen’s eggs had hatched before the others. Instead of caring for them, she had thrown them out (one fully hatched and one was just about to come out of the shell) I’m scared for her last 4 eggs. Does anyone know why she might be doing...

    Scared hen out of broodyness??

    So my welsummer hen had been sitting for about 4-5 days, but she wasn't eating or drinking, so I took her off the nest and plopped her on the floor. After a couple of minutes I realized her eggs were getting a bit chili, and she was still happily on the ground. I tried to place her back on the...

    Dying chick! Help

    He was almost fully feathered, so he was outside for the last couple of weeks. We kept him with two other chicks of mine, but they were about three weeks older. I'll tell you all if he's still alive by when I get home, though I doubt my parents listened to me and took care of him like I asked.

    Can a broody hen sit on old eggs?

    The chickens haven't been laying as much eggs (they don't lay during winter so they're just starting too again) so I only had some from a few weeks (because I don't have new eggs daily yet) But my other chickens are starting to lay again, so maybe if she stays broody I'll give her some newer...

    Can a broody hen sit on old eggs?

    My hen started showing signs of being broody, and today she started sitting, but the eggs she’s sitting on are a bit old (some are about a week old and others maybe older). So I was wondering if she could still hatch them, or if I should buy her some knew eggs (though I might not be able too)...

    Does anyone know the gender/breed of this chick?

    A guy brought three chickens, but one died and I’ll post about the other one later. But I’m unsure of its breed or gender, but I think it’s a hen.
